Mobile App Discontinued
Due to a number of factors, support for the current BigFooty mobile app has been discontinued. Your BigFooty login will no longer work on the Tapatalk or the BigFooty App - which is based on Tapatalk.
Apologies for any inconvenience. We will try to find a replacement.
Any way to improve memory or speed up processor?

Yep. Backup the files you need, format your hard drive, reinstall the programs you use.
Uninstall any programs you don't use.
Uninstall any fonts you don't use.
Clear out your desktop. Extra icons are bad.
Turn off Active Desktop.
Stop any programs running on startup unless you need them to.
It's a start.
On a hardware level, you can overclock your machine, but it's the sort of procedure that you really need to know what you're doing to do, or you're likely to fry your motherboard and/or CPU.

yep, doing a fresh install will help - I like to reinstall windows every 6-12 months, otherwise it clogs up something fierce.
But of course depending on how old this machine is, you might want to just bite the bullet and fork out for a new one anyway. There's only so much you can do with what you have.

unless you want to do graphics work, dont listen to zeke.
make sure you have a fersh install. Or run Linux...that helps too
What are you saying, Zeke? That buying a Mac will magically solve his problem, ie: speeding up his computer without having to buy anything? Sure, I agree that the Mac is the finest home computer you can buy, but your post doesn't solve anything.
I'm a bit more of a format whore than you - reinstall every 2-3 weeks and format about once every 2 months. Its an obsessive compulsive disorder I have....
Format.
I format once every 2 - 3 months as well. With a partitioned HDD, it's a pretty safe process.
